Updated Harlem Cocktail Recipes

Traditionally, the Harlem cocktail does not include lemon juice. I've added it to this updated version because the additional acidity mellows the sweetness imparted by the drink's other components. If you've got an extraction juicer, fresh pineapple juice makes this drink especially bright and lively - but canned juice will work fine. I like to finish the drink with a couple dashes of Angostura bitters, but consider them optional - to your taste.

There are many ways to make this classic winter drink. Using brown sugar is traditional, but maple syrup is awfully nice, too. Stirring in the butter with a cinnamon stick while you slowly sip the drink makes for a cozy ritual, but if the sight of a floating lump of butter disturbs you, add the butter earlier in the process, with the sugar-it'll melt faster. You can also make the drink sweeter (add more sugar) or spicier (substitute spiced rum for dark rum), or both, to your taste.

Here's a cocktail that's both a tribute to my mother (who loved whiskey sours laced with amaretto) and to my favorite flavors of the Christmas season: clementines, cinnamon and cloves. Juice the clementines a day in advance to save yourself some trouble on the holiday.

Does a cocktail have to include rum in order to be considered a tiki drink? No - gin will do just fine, too. Jeff Berry created this for Beachbum Berry's Latitude 29 in New Orleans, and it has become one of its most popular menu items. Ginger liqueur and cinnamon syrup give this gently effervescent number a spicy kick.

This easygoing highball tastes like the tropics. Nutmeg freshly grated over the top adds a hint of spice.

As with many classic cocktails, numerous origin stories have attached themselves to The Gibson like barnacles, and the truth is uncertain. One thing is clear, however: the pickled onion hasn't always been part of the Gibson legend. The recipe in my 1933 edition of The Savoy Cocktail Book is essentially a formula for what many would call a 50/50 martini - half gin, half dry vermouth, with a faint spritz of lemon essence. Nonetheless, we now tend to regard The Gibson as a martini in which a cocktail onion is swapped in for the usual olive - and that's the version of the story I'm sticking with in this recipe. Play with the proportions to your taste, but, as usual, I recommend that you don't stint on the vermouth.
